    Michelle - No hospital or even a MD's office is supposed to tell you 'if they have someone as a patient' unless you have signed paperwork telling them it is 'ok' to do so. My BF called my GYN's office the other day and was told 'they did not have anyone there by my name'. But, my cellphone was dead.

    I like taking words and trying to find acronyms/acrostics for them. STOP ... "Spin Tires On Pavement" if you work hard enough some come easy.

    Oh, "Chain Gang" ... your bracelets are made out of 'chains' and you are selling them to a 'gang' of women.

    Cracker has still be right up under me; but, she is also doing the same with Louis. Since it is raining today, she has been sleeping for the most part.

    Take care - Have a Happy and Safe New Year (and going out for New Year's Eve). We are staying right at home, Louis thinks the people going to Time Square for about watching the ball drop is a 'crazy' idea. Waiting for 12 hours needing to relieve themselves and eating ... that would also be a problem for both of us.

    Barbie those are some great commandments, you obviously gave them lots of thought. I'd love to steal them all but believe that to really incorporate into my life I need to go through some kind of process to develop for myself. What steps did you take first? I do better starting small, contrary to my inclinations ;)
    Lanette starting veggies on heat mats, I'll try that!
    Penny "...then we dance Christmas out" Love it!
    pip Running toe socks? Wow! "Don't expect..." hahahahahahahaHAH!
    Allie good for your son and glad Alfie brings joy to your Dad. Sounds like he's decided to go for the surgery?

    Pg 72 bottom, time to find those dumbbells.

    Hugs to all,

    I have been running in them for years.
    Running over pebbles, no doesn't hurt, I do mainly road running, so no rocks to speak of, like riunning barefoot. No support, natural running.

    Wendy - thank you for telling us about your bee/honey business. So interesting you are selling honey to China - seems like everything we buy here (clothing, utensils, some food) is from China, it doesn't occur to me they are also customers, lol. Hope it all works out and you can directly export.

    Allie - your dad is so lucky you are close by to help look after him.

    The lentil soup turned out great. Do any of you like Progresso lentil soup? It's long been one of my favorites and this recipe turned out real close! I see that using the teensy French lentils is the key.

    If anyone wants the recipe, let me know and I'll post it here. I didn't work out the nutrition but I'm betting it's close to the Progresso label and that's what I'm using to log it into the MFP food diary.

    I'm rushing around getting dogs fed and out to do their business soon before the firecrackers start up. Rosie the pup doesn't seem phased by them, but old Sophie stops and shivers and runs back to the house. We'll put a tight sweater on her tonight which will act like a Thundershirt, and put a blanket in the closet for her to curl up on.

    I'm going to put my walking shoes on and get a mile in this afternoon while the sun is still out. It's 38f right now - and to many of you, I'm sure that would feel downright balmy. Sending warm thoughts!!

    Barbie: I love your Happiness Commandments! You are a wise woman. :star: I'm saving them in a place where I can remind myself now and then. :star:

    Wendy: I have a neighbor who is a real fan of Menucha Honey. She gets hers from someplace "down under," but I don't know where. :smiley:

    (((SHARON)))

    Lanette: I have eaten and enjoyed Kale. DH was on a kale kick a few years ago and cooked it in a wok as part of a stir-fry. It was good and smelled okay, too. As a child we had German immigrants as neighbors, and they boiled what they called Chicken Kale. Very smelly. :grumble: The smell is always my first thought when I hear the word Kale even though I know how good DH's tastes. I don't think his has ever smelled bad, either. :flowerforyou:

    Penny: It is great to see your post & to learn a little bet more about Scandinavian Christmas traditions. :heart: I love the photos. Thank you!

    Wendy: I had eggplant lasagna for the first time last summer. It was delicious! I got the recipe from DSIL but haven't made it yet. I haven't seen any eggplant in the market. :flowerforyou:

    Pip: I love this! "Don't expect any New Years resolutions from me. I intend on staying the same awkward, sarcastic, foul-mouthed delight you've all come to know and love." Me, too! :star::heart:


    Allie: I am so glad that your son is stepping up to support his Grandpa. You've clearly raised him right. :smiley:

    SueBDew: I'm also a fan of Doc Martin. I've seen Martin Clunes on a horsey program, too. He had some draft horses he was having trained. :smiley:

    Yvonne in TX: So sorry for the loss of your dad. :broken_heart::heart:

    Becca : I'm so glad you were able to spend Christmas with your sons. Yay! :flowerforyou: Thank you for posting "You are Not Everyone's Cup of Tea." It helps me put my obnoxious neighbor into perspective. I'm not her cup of tea, & she is not mine. :noway:

    Rori: I hope you will enjoy your cruise. :bigsmile:

    Sharon in Lethbridge: Warm thoughts for you, too. I hope that 2018 will be a good year for us all. :heart:

    Lisa in NC: I read your description of the "crapweasel sperm donor" to DH and it made both of us laugh out loud. You have a unique way with words. No wonder you're an author. :laugh:


    I'm out of time, but haven't read all the way through the posts. I hope everyone has a good day today. Best news for us regarding our dog is that he is doing well. He had a slipped disc and it seems to be back in its proper location. Yay!!! That is the best gift of this Christmas season after the birth of our grandson and the good health of our adult children & grandchildren. I am so grateful.

    Heather posted a quote similar to this that I wanted to use, but I couldn't recall it quite right. I went online and found this one.

    “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison

    Love u lots

    Lanette I like Progresso lentil soup very much.

    Michele Any chance the day you didn't log was the wedding day? I bet that was a busy, whirlwind kind of day...

    We went to lunch with a dear friend. Greek food, very yummy. It was great to see my friend, who is a former neighbor and a good friend. We haven't seen her for more than a year. :s

    Happy New Year!

    Oye, ladies!
    Home now, after waking up at 3am, leaving at 4 am from middle son and DILs apartment to head to PDX. Youngest nuke son had a 6:30am flight tko Atlanta, then on to Charleston. It was nice having him home from 16th to 26th, then stayed at middle son's from 26th to today. They have two dogs, that jumped all over, on the couch, on you, licking your ears, up your nose! Husband, younger son and I have never grown up with dogs so it was quite an experience! They also do not have cable, or a radio. Husband and I are used to being informed with local news, local paper and the like. We both adapted and adjusted. Love our son and DIL, but she is not a cook, nor a helper. I was making scrambled eggs and using some ham I found, served on paper plates.... * long sigh*.

    Miss my eldest son, can't call him or write him. Until he writes first with his on base Addy.

    Christmas stuff down, looking at my minimalist looking home and breathing long and deep!

    Love you guys, hoping nothing but the best for each and every one of you! Type to you next year!
    Becca

    Not sure what PDX is,but that was sure an early start! I agree,the young generation does it their way,but so did we.....

    DD asked if I was making cabbage rolls tomorrow........no & nothing else either. DH has out patient surgery Wed & I like to clear the decks before & left overs are not in the plan. Cooking for 7 ppl no longer interests me......
    kind of “been there/done that”.Just having what we want,when we want works for us.Sounding selfish here :/

    Grandaughter saw 4” of snow starting just after she arrived from
    Fl.Grpa asked what she thought if it,”very pretty,but I’m over it”.LOL,
    She tells it like she sees it.......her Mama’s DD.

    Hope your son is doing well.We never get over that worry.Our Marine Grson leaves for SC Thursday.A 12 hr drive.

    Our decorations went back in hiding a day or two early.Needed to do a good cleaning & the less to look at,the better.

    PDX is Portland Oregon International Airport. Heehee!

    M - MFP says that I only logged in 364 days. I know I logged in every day. It was really interesting to see the stats for the community. Oh, that's right, there were some days when I didn't close out my diary, like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Maybe that's what they're going by

    Happy New Year to all you wonderful ladies. I feel so blessed to have you all in my life. Love you all

    That's what mine said too ... I wondered if it were a time zone difference thing.

    t9306.gif There are fireworks going off near our neighborhood and the dogs are terrified. Bessie didn't want to go out and do her business at bedtime and probably won't want to go out in the middle of the night, either.

    t2208.gif I am nearly ready to go to bed, so I've posted the new thread for January.

    Here is the link;

    It's also possible, though I haven't had one in 17 years, so not sure, that she's PMSing. Which he never experienced with me, and hasn't been around since our daughter left home for the Army eight years ago. I remember how it felt, and I see the same look on her face, and same exhaustion. Plus, of course, she's dealing with her husband being half a world away for another four months.

    January 2 is a full moon, and apparently a super moon, so it is entirely possible she's PMSing.

    I used to be synced to have my periods on full moons, but the last year or so I've been so irregular, it's anyone's guess.
